With a 0.48-inch outside diameter, a 1.5-inch free length, and a 0.072-inch wire diameter, this spring delivers a spring rate of 57.1 pounds per inch and a maximum work load of 44 pounds. The closed and ground end type provides flat, stable seating surfaces for consistent load transfer. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical assemblers encounter this spring type in valve assemblies, actuators, damper mechanisms, and similar precision-loaded components where controlled deflection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spring is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant compression spring is specified. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure, mild chemical contact, or elevated temperature cycling. It fits into mounting holes up to 0.5 inches in diameter and collapses to a solid height of 0.819 inches. Package quantity is 5 springs per order with a minimum order quantity of 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed and ground ends for flat, stable seating and accurate load application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.48-inch OD fits mounting holes up to 0.5 inches in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e57.1 pounds per inch spring rate for predictable, linear deflection behavior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e44-pound maximum work load with a solid height of 0.819 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets AISI 302, ASTM A228, and ASTM A313 material standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a precision OEM-style compression spring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.48-inch OD closed-and-ground stainless steel spring with a 1.5-inch free length and a maximum hole diameter of 0.5 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical assemblers as part of valve, actuator, or damper service work. Depressurize and de-energize the associated system before removing or replacing any spring-loaded component. Verify that the mating bore and rod dimensions match the spring OD, hole diameter, and solid height before installation to avoid binding or incorrect preload. Confirm replacement spring specifications against the original equipment documentation before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.072 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 57.1 pounds per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Work Load\u003c\/strong\u003e: 44 pounds (178.98 N)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.819 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed and Ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI 302, ASTM A228, ASTM A313\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161904\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GARDNER SPRING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36497GS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GARDNER SPRING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51977175040306,"sku":"36497GS","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3ec5d951fd9236b32fae9ff46e715b92.jpg?v=1789979330","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gardner-spring-36497gs-compression-spring-0-48-in-od-stainless","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
